Heavily disagree. I love the hell out of Machina 1. I think it has some of their best songs ever on it like "Wound", "Stand Inside Your Love", "The Sacred And Profane", "With Every Light", "The Crying Tree of Mercury", and "This Time". I thought that I was in a position to really inform people about the album. What the fuck is the point of talking about the history of the band that everyone already knows about? Just get to the music.
